Abstract (en)
[origin: US2011080627A1] A translation and rotation mechanism is disclosed, which comprises of one or more bi-directional electrostatic actuators. Each bi-directional electrostatic actuator comprising of fixed electrodes and movable electrodes, where the fixed electrodes of each actuator being attached onto a base. The movable electrodes of each actuator are connected to the translating and rotation unit through a spring system. The movable elements of each said actuator being able to rotate with respect to the base plane by applying voltage signals to the actuator and by controlling the voltage signals applied to each said actuator independently, said translating and rotation unit being able to translate, rotate, or translate and rotate simultaneously.
